I have a terminal case of writer's block. That, along with my horror at reading my previous comments was enough to keep me away.

When first I left, i'd check the site occasionally for anything worth reading, but we all know what a shot in the dark that is.

I haven't visited the site in about 10 months. How serendipitous. The poem is good. "Sentinel teeth" has a complexity of meaning and it's placed wonderfully between bruising & fucking. (Oh how our bodies do betray us)

It's an honest poem. I can feel it. It's human.
"Trapped in tissue webs" is sensual, that along with the following line is spot on. Anatomically accurate and emotional all at once.
